After rebirth, the paranoid boss dotes on her

Gu Family Old House——

On the day of Mrs. Gu’s 70th birthday, there were crowds of guests.

Many important figures in Kyoto came, bringing gifts to celebrate Madam Gu's birthday.

Because the Gu family has an unshakable position in the entire Kyoto, many people want to curry favor with them and build relationships with them in order to gain greater benefits.

However, they came mostly for Gu Jingzhan, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to establish some relationship with him so that they could have a smoother path in the business world.

But there are also many rumors outside that the family relationships in the Gu family are not very good, and Gu Jingzhan even had a very bad relationship with Old Madam Gu because of the issue of marrying Xiang Wanqiao.

So they were not sure whether Gu Jingzhan would come back on such a special day as today.

But no matter what, you still have to try your luck.

What if you encounter it?

In such a social situation, everyone has his or her own ulterior motives.

Although Mrs. Gu is nearly seventy years old, she is still in good shape, energetic, and as charming as ever.

While she was socializing in the hall, her eyes would drift towards the door from time to time, as if she was waiting for something.

At this time, Gu Wenhua walked into the hall, approached Old Madam Gu, and gave her a gift.

"Mom, I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a life as long as the Southern Mountains!"

"Okay, I'm ready."

Madam Gu accepted the gift and smiled faintly.

Then, she reminded quietly: "Xue Ru is back too. She is in the back garden. Go find her and talk to her."

Gu Wenhua's face changed slightly when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing. He turned around and left silently, walking towards the back garden.

Old Madam Gu handed the gift to Mrs. Li beside her and looked towards the door again, still holding a little expectation in her heart.

However, as time passed, the person she was expecting still did not come.

Madam Gu sighed softly, her tone full of disappointment: "He is still angry with me."

When Gu Jingzhan insisted on marrying Xiang Wanqiao, Old Madam Gu strongly opposed it.

Because she knew clearly that Xiang Wanqiao didn't love Gu Jingzhan at all, and even if they were forced to be together, they would not be happy.

She didn't want her grandson to repeat the same bad marriage path as his parents.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jingzhan's obsession with Xiang Wanqiao was beyond ordinary people, and his persistence was a little pathological.

For Xiang Wanqiao, he could give up everything, including his family.

At first, Madam Gu was really angry.

But as time went by, and after listening to a lot of news from the spies she sent out recently, she slowly figured it out.

The reason I asked them to come back this time was to see with my own eyes whether the information they sent back was true.

Mrs. Li, who was serving the old lady, spoke up to comfort her, "Perhaps the young master is busy with something important, and he might arrive later."

Madam Gu forced a smile and said, "If you wanted to come, you would have come a long time ago."

After saying that, she turned around disappointedly, preparing to leave this lively occasion temporarily.

As she turned around, Gu Jingzhan and Xiang Wanqiao walked in slowly from outside the door, arm in arm.

The appearance of the two instantly became the focus of the whole audience.

Seeing this, Sister Li excitedly pulled Madam Gu's sleeve, her voice full of excitement: "Madam, look, the young master is back!"

Old Madam Gu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Gu Jingzhan really appear in front of her. She was also indescribably excited.

But she didn't show it. She pretended to be calm and said softly, "Here I come."

Gu Jingzhan had a cold and handsome face, with no extra expressions on his face, and an attitude that kept people at a distance.

Even though Xiang Wanqiao had talked to him a lot before coming, he still felt uncomfortable and couldn't let it go.

His tone was very calm, with a hint of alienation, and he said: "I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a life as long as the Southern Mountains."

"it is good."

Old Madam Gu was already very satisfied to see him coming and didn't say anything.

Xiang Wanqiao presented a carefully prepared birthday gift to the side, and said to Madam Gu calmly and generously: "Grandma, this is a birthday gift from me and A-Zhan to you. I wish you a happy birthday every year!"

This was her first time meeting Madam Gu, but her behavior was not awkward at all, but full of respect and blessings.

Madam Gu looked at her calmly.

This granddaughter-in-law seemed to be much better than she had imagined, and not as bad as the outside world said.

Madam Gu smiled faintly, accepted the gift, and said gently but with dignity: "Okay, come back to eat with A-Zhan more often in the future."

Xiang Wanqiao glanced at Gu Jingzhan, then nodded and said, "I will."

"What kind of precious gift can a useless and illiterate Miss Xiang give? I'm afraid she just found a fake to make up the number, and she's not afraid of being embarrassed."

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice sounded from not far away, breaking the harmonious picture.

Xiang Wanqiao looked in the direction of the voice, but she didn't recognize the woman who was speaking.

The woman was wearing a light green evening dress and high heels. She walked towards them slowly with a condescending attitude.

Judging from the tone of her voice and her haughty demeanor, she also seemed to be a member of the Gu family.

Later, Xiang Wanqiao found out that the woman who came out to challenge her was called Wen Yu, the daughter of Gu Jingzhan's aunt Gu Huainian and his closest cousin.

However, Gu Huainian died of illness five years ago, and Wen Yu was sent abroad by her father Wen Chengru to study. She only graduated and returned to China recently.

Wen Yu stopped in front of Xiang Wanqiao, looking her up and down with disdain in his eyes: "Are you the woman my cousin must marry? You don't look that good!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Chengru stepped forward to stop it.

"Xiaoyu, don't be so rude!"

Seeing that Gu Jingzhan looked unhappy, Madam Gu also spoke up, "Xiaoyu, be careful and don't make trouble here."

Wen Yu stopped talking, but his eyes were full of disdain and provocation.

Xiang Wanqiao was not angry from beginning to end. She was calm and had a decent smile on her face.

She said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "It doesn't matter if you don't look good, as long as A-Zhan likes me."

"Besides, grandma hasn't even opened her present yet, and you're already insisting it's a fake. I don't think you're that smart!"

"You!" Wen Yu pointed at her angrily, "How dare you scold me!"

Xiang Wanqiao smiled calmly, showing no sign of weakness.

"Why not? Regardless of who you are, just based on the fact that you just said something without any basis, I have sufficient reason to refute you."

Xiang Wanqiao's voice is always gentle, but quite aggressive.

Old Madam Gu looked at her with a little more admiration in her eyes.

Wen Yu put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Oh, you don't even know who I am? My name is Wen Yu, and I'm Gu Huai Nian's daughter!"

Xiang Wanqiao dragged out an "oh" and turned to ask Gu Jingzhan, "She is yours..."

"Cousin." Gu Jingzhan uttered these two words without any emotion.

Xiang Wanqiao's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, and she said sarcastically, "Then according to seniority, you still have to call me cousin, so why should I not dare to scold you?"

"Xiang Wanqiao!"

"Be good and call me cousin, otherwise you will seem very rude."

Wen Yu was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't say anything to refute her.
